Hi VBA Geeks,

I have posted this question in another forum, however I thought I try my luck on here as I really require some expert advice.

Please see attached link.

How to avoid destination workbook to open as read-only

I have multiple workbooks which will populate data into a master workbook.
My issue is if users press the macro button simultaneously on there individual workbook, it will perform a read-only dialog box to "save as" the master spreadsheet. Is there a way, I can eliminate this issue? I want the user to be able to have there changes updated in the master spreadsheet, without any errors.

From my understanding, "sharing" a workbook is not recommended with macros.

The code is below

Code:
Private Sub NonC()



Application.ScreenUpdating = False


Dim wb As Workbook, wsDATA As Worksheet, wasOPEN As Boolean
Dim i As Long, LastRow As Long
Set wsDATA = ActiveSheet
LastRow = wsDATA.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row



On Error Resume Next
Set wb = Workbooks("MS.xlsm")
On Error GoTo 0

If Not wb Is Nothing Then
    wasOPEN = True
Else
    Set wb = Workbooks.Open("C:\MS.xlsm")
End If

With wsDATA
    For i = 2 To LastRow
        If .Cells(i, "A") = "NON-C" Then
            If .Cells(i, "J") > 15 Or .Cells(i, "O") > 15 Then
                .Range("A" & i).Resize(, 26).Copy
                wb.Sheets("Non Clinical").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial
            End If
        End If
    Next i
    
    If wasOPEN Then
        wb.Save
    Else
        wb.Close True
    End If
    
End With
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:05"))
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

Thanks in Advance
